Outstanding: StarCraft Universe Launches

Remember World of StarCraft? How about StarCraft Universe? If you remember one of those, you remember them both, because they're the same game, just renamed after some legal disputes with Blizzard. Even if you don't, you may be excited to know that an early version of the "MMO-style RPG" mod for StarCraft 2 is out on Battle.net, as Kotaku reports.

Now, this is just the prologue to the full game, so it's only a single-player version of what will eventually be a dungeon crawler that supports 5-10 players per instance. Judging by this trailer, those instances are looking pretty chaotic and really cool. I'm excited to check out the eight playable classes, mounted combat, and slew of professional voice actors. It's even been scored by the guy behind the Castle Crashers soundtrack! That's quite impressive for a mod.

If you're interested in checking it out, head into StarCraft 2's Arcade tab and search for "StarCraft Universe RPG." Once downloaded, you'll be good to go. You can also check out the official StarCraft Universe site for more information.
